Friday 22nd May 2020

Remember, all work should be completed in your Home Learning Journal. Please write the long date and remember your perfect presentation.

Today is the last day of term! Next week is the half term holiday so there will be no daily learning. It looks like the sun will be shining so spend lots of time in the garden or outside exercising and keep sending in your fantastic pictures of what you are doing! ☀️

The night was still. Not a breath of wind could be felt. An eerie silence filled the warm evening air, broken only by the sound of the crow’s wings flapping as it returned to its nest with food.

Combined with the ghostly silhouette of the tower and the rickety pathway that led to it, the ominous silence made Lucy nervous. She felt a prickle on the back of her neck as she thought about what she might find inside the tower, and what might be lurking in the darkness around her.

Her heart began to thump inside her chest, seemingly matching the beat of the crow’s wings.

Lucy had always been slightly wary of crows; they had sooty, black wings, piercingly sharp beaks and menacing, staring eyes. The crow had settled down in one of the gnarled branches of a nearby tree. She thought it was watching her. Surely it wasn’t though? Crows didn’t do that. It must have been her imagination.

Plucking up all of her courage, she approached the stairs. They looked rotten and crumbling, as if nobody had set foot on them for years and years. The crow was still staring at her, and had tilted its head to one side as if pointing its beak towards the tower. “What was this crow up to?” she thought to herself.

“Are you trying to warn me about something?” she asked the crow. The crow did not respond, only shuffling its feet slightly on the branch, head still tilted to one side. She frowned. “Of course you’re not trying to warn me about something, you’re just a stupid bird.”

Her eyes left the crow and she ascended the first few steps on the rickety path towards the tower. “It’s just a silly bird.” Lucy muttered to herself under her breath. “Don’t be such a wimp.”

The crow watched as she left, and smiled. A wicked, cruel smile accompanied by a cackling laugh. “Silly, silly girl” it squawked. “I must tell the others she is coming.”

The crow took off into the night…

Can you continue Lucy’s story as she visits the Forbidden Tower? Where was the crow going? What would Lucy find inside? Write your story in your Home Learning Journal.

Golden Time

A special treat this Friday - settle down and enjoy this performance of I Want my Hat Back by Jon Klassen. I'd love to know what you thought of the puppet show. You could try making your own puppets and putting on a performance for your family during half term.
